Ten minutes later, as the island got closer, the view became clearer and clearer.

Island No. 9612.

It is located 80 kilometers north of Tai Island, the largest island in China, and is at the same latitude as Fuzhou City on the southeast coast.

The unnamed islands in the game are usually small in size, and 9612 is no exception, and when you get closer, you can see the entire island at a glance.

Trees, rocks, sandy beaches.

Slowly appeared in front of the eyes of the four people.

And Lu Zhe reminded that there would be other people's situations that have not yet been discovered.

After all, this is just a small island with little strategic value, and the proximity to the mainland coastline and the island of Tai makes it less noticeable.

Fisherman's Island, 150 kilometres to the east, is an island of great interest. Despite its small size, for some historical and political reasons, Chinese and Japanese players have been eyeing the island in previous games, and there have been countless battles here.

On the other hand, the geographical location of Fisherman's Island is extremely important, and it can be used as a transit point to go directly to Jinchong Island, which belongs to Japan, and is of great strategic significance.

Because of these two reasons, Fisherman's Island is still among the 791 sovereign islands, although it does not meet the conditions in all aspects.

But Island 9612, where Lu Zhe and others are located, does not have the same status.

Since Japan and South Korea had already announced their own ships the day before, Lu Zhe warned several people that they might encounter enemy players. But at the moment, it seems to be too much to worry about, after all, birds don't in this place, they don't even have tasks, and who is idle and has nothing to do to run around on the sea.

Lu Zhe found an easy place to go ashore, and the two canoes ran aground on the beach.

"Wreck the ship." Lu Zhe commanded.

"What a pity." Su Ying was a little reluctant.

She has recently started selling premium mussels on the exchange. There is no problem with sales, but because the rosemary in the recipe is too rare and expensive, her profits and production are not very high.

Even if she has such a rare cooking recipe, the imaginary overnight wealth has not happened, so she cherishes gold coins more than ever.

At this time, seeing Lu Zhe destroy the canoe that had just been used for an hour, he really felt a pity in his heart.

Lu Zhe explained: "The cost of this thing is very low, and we may not go back from here for a while, in case there are players from other countries, wouldn't it be cheaper?" In addition, there is the possibility of revealing whereabouts. ”

"Oh." Su Ying nodded.

"Gray God, are we here on a mission?" Hyacinth asked.

"Almost, the White Rabbit Treasure Hunt has collected a set of fragments, ready to combine, and needs to find a place here. In addition, there is a boss to fight. ”

"Fragments? Combination? ”

Both the Washed Horse and the Hyacinth were taken aback.

Of course they know what treasure hunting is all about.

The most valuable items in the game are also the most sought-after professions, and I haven't heard of anyone collecting a complete set of shards.

Doesn't a treasure hunt require a guild to support a player?

Why did the White Rabbit collect a set of shards so quickly?

Lu Zhe heard surprise and confusion in their voices, but there was no explanation, and he couldn't explain it.

How to explain it?

I'm helpless too.

"Assembling the pieces requires an altar, which is available all over the world, but the location is uncertain, and I happened to see it the last time I was on this island." Lu Zhedao.

"And what's going on with the boss?" Hyacinth asked,

"Each altar is located in the middle of nowhere, and there is a guardian, this guard belongs to the monster of the elite boss level in the wild, and will drop a certain amount of goodies."

As they spoke, they walked towards the center of the island.

Lu Zhe said again: "To combine the fragments, in addition to the altar, you also need five kinds of sacrifices, which can generally be found around the altar, this island is not big, we will scatter and find it in a while." ”

"Let's remember, these five sacrifices are: bronze tripod, dry crocodile heart, black cat nails, red stone ring, mysterious iron piece."

"These things are definitely on the island, and they won't be hard to find."

There are official materials on the process of combining fragments, but most people consciously give up when they see the fragment collection stage, and Xima Tibetan Sword and Hyacinth are such people, and they don't know the next steps at all.

But it's nothing.,The step of combining the pieces.,Although it looks like a god is chattering.,As if you're doing some cult ritual.,In fact, it's nothing more than borrowing something occult.,Make a plausible sacrificial activity.,In the end, what the player needs to do in the game is not complicated.,The only difficulty is the elite guard boss.。

In principle, the original intention of the game was not to allow players to pursue treasure hunting before reaching the full level, if it were not for Lu Zhe to use the puzzle-solving experience in his previous life to point out the general direction, no matter how lucky Su Ying was, it would be impossible for Su Ying to collect a set of fragments at this stage.

There are only 3 pieces in this set of fragments, which belongs to a relatively low level of difficulty, and of course, the probability of combining the best is correspondingly low.

After the four of them walked for a while, Lu Zhe suddenly stopped.

Su Ying was stunned: "What's wrong?" ”

"Someone."

"Huh?"

"Look at the ground."

After Lu Zhe finished speaking, he pointed to a clearing in front of him.

On the soft soil, there are some criss-crossing footprints, although these footprints are not as clear and obvious as the shoe prints in reality, but at a glance they are the traces of human walking.

"Footprints?" Su Ying asked.

"Yes, and the surrounding plants, all of which have been trampled on and destroyed."

The club will ask the contracted players to do their best not to damage their surroundings and leave traces when they are in the wild as a group.

But for ordinary players, it is a very natural and normal behavior to chop a branch or cut a few weeds when they are in a hurry.

With this level of destruction, the game resets at zero o'clock every day, that is, the traces are only left today, and it is likely that there are other people on the island.

The biggest reason why Lu Zhe chose this island instead of looking for an altar in the interior was that the altar guards here had a high probability of dropping an item he needed.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Wild bosses don't drop fixed items, but there are some rules, for example, some of the best equipment and blueprints other than artifacts will only drop by certain bosses.

This is also Lu Zhe's biggest reliance today.

Another reason is that after the altar has been alarmed once, it needs to wait a month before it can be used again, although there should be no treasure hunter in the country who will use the altar at present, but it is possible to be accidentally alarmed.

After all, the Altar Guardian is a boss-level NPC that drops a nice reward. However, altars are usually located in relatively private places, and it is difficult to come across them at random, such as this isolated island that does not even have a name.

Of course, Lu Zhe went straight to the altar of this island, and another consideration was that he didn't want to be disturbed, if the boss came to others halfway through, even if it was a domestic player, it was difficult to say that he would get along amicably.

"What then?" Su Ying raised her vigilance and began to look around.

Lu Zhe said: "If there are many people, avoid them, and if there are few people, kill them, if nothing else, the people on the island now are either South Korea or Japanese players." ”

"That means there's another honor point, right?"

Su Ying couldn't hide the excitement in her voice.

She's been spending a lot of time making up for the game's common sense lately, and she's envious when she sees the rewards for her ranks.

The higher the rank, the greater the benefits.

Buying a mount is only the most basic reward, and later on, certain special equipment, special items, and even certain perks will make people drool.

This is also one of the important means for the game to encourage players to PVP.

Of course, these rewards are unlikely to be widespread to most players.

The further you go in rank, the more difficult it is to move up.

According to the setting of the game, from private to top, it is divided into fourteen ranks, namely: private, corporal, sergeant, sergeant, second lieutenant, lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, major general, lieutenant general, general, general, and marshal.

In reality, this rank rating is obviously too crude and arbitrary, but it is used in the game to make it easy for most non-military enthusiasts to accept.

And among them.

Captain and below, calculated according to the total number of honor points.

This means that as long as you reach a certain number of honor points, you can be promoted to captain, but from the eighth major onwards, the rank will be determined according to the ranking of all players.

To put it simply, there is a limit to the number of players with the rank of Major and above, and the higher the rank, the fewer the number.

For example, a country can only have a maximum of one marshal and ten generals at any one time.

The difficulty can be imagined.

Especially in China, it is no longer difficult to kill hundreds of millions of players to dominate the country.

Su Ying envied the title of marshal more than once.

But at this point, Lu Zhe didn't dare to make any promises.

My wife likes other things, and no matter how difficult it is, he has to fight hard.

But the marshal.

Hehe, he didn't do it himself in his previous life.

This is not something that can be accomplished by a few or even hundreds of people.

In the later stage, after the outbreak of the global war, the PVP environment is extremely chaotic, and it is not at all up to which club can decide who can kill the most enemies and gain the most honors.

At this time, hearing that his wife was playing the military rank again, Lu Zhe said helplessly: "That's not necessarily, maybe we are giving honor to others." So be careful, if you die, you have to go back to Thunder Island to be resurrected. ”

Among the four, Lu Zhe and Xima Hidden Sword can be invisible, even if they can't beat the opponent's large number of people, it is still no problem to save their lives, but Hyacinth and Su Ying are in trouble, in case they are discovered, the island is such a place, there is nowhere to hide.

And because this is a non-sovereign island, there is no cemetery, once the player dies, they can only be resurrected to the nearest island or even on land, taking Hyacinth and others as an example, after obtaining Su Ying's authorization, their nearest resurrection point is Thunder Island.

Everyone agreed, and they all cautiously followed Lu Zhe's footsteps.

The island is really not big.

Lu Zhe and the others had not walked a few steps before they could vaguely hear the sound of talking.

"You two wait here, find a place to hide, hide your sword, and come with me to investigate."

"Okay."

Su Ying and Hyacinth found a lush bush to hide. Without human interference, the weeds on the island thrive, and the weeds in many places are more than one person tall, and the two of them squat in it, and they can't find it if they don't get close.

Of course, the premise is that there are no perverted guild names like 'Mom said the guild name can't be too long, because then hiding behind a big tree will be discovered by bad monsters'.

Lu Zhe and Xima hid their swords, one hidden, the other stealth, and slowly touched the source of the sound.

With the smallest possible movement, parting the lush grass, the two quickly came to a cave dozens of meters away.

Inside the cave is Lu Zhe's destination this time, an altar for combining fragments.

Just outside the entrance to the cave, which is just over a man wide, two players are chatting together.

"Gray God, what are they doing?" Washing the horse and hiding the sword asked puzzled.

"Look at the wind."

"Huh?"

"They have teammates in the hole, and of course these two guys are here to prevent others from getting closer."

"But is it necessary for such a remote island?" Washing horses and hiding swords still can't be understood.

"This is a prescribed action of the club guild, unless there are insufficient personnel, there should be no less standing."

[ ]"Is this rigid? ”

Xima Zangjian didn't know Lu Zhe's background, and he didn't deliberately hide his ridicule of professional clubs.

Lu Zhe smiled: "It depends on the situation, if there are enough personnel, there is nothing wrong with this approach, after all, aren't we here?" ”

He thought about it, but quickly asked, "Could it be that these two people are the only ones who inadvertently broke into this island?" ”

"It's very unlikely, they didn't use the team voice, they talked directly face-to-face, indicating that there were other people in the team, and they were standing at the entrance of the cave like this, doing nothing, and they looked like they were guarding."

"Looks like a Japanese player."

"Well, from the Matsuda Guild."

Although Lu Zhe doesn't understand Japanese, Matsuda's guild name can still be recognized.

Compared with South Korea's three-core monopoly, Japan's clubs are not so extreme, there are a total of 5 professional clubs in China, although Matsuda is the undisputed leader, but the rest are not very different, relatively balanced development.

Lu Zhe already knew the news that the Matsuda Club had a canoe, but he still didn't understand why he came to this island.

The altar itself is of little use other than the treasure hunt specialty, and it seems that it was really by accident, and after coming, the cave was discovered, and then the altar guard was found.

If there are enough people, they will definitely do it.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhe didn't dare to wait any longer, and said to Su Ying and the two: "Master and pastor come to us." ”

Washing the horse and hiding the sword excitedly: "Do you want to do it?" ”

Lu Zhe said: "Well, although I don't know the number of people on the other side, I can't let them get it easily, otherwise this more than an hour will be wasted." ”

"Solve the two at the door first?"

"Wait for the mage priest to come over, once you do it, you must immediately enter the hole and disrupt them to kill the boss."

After all, the game is not reality, even if you silently solve the two players at the entrance of the cave, people can still inform their companions in the cave through voice.

"Wait for you to be left and me to the right, one person at a time, a quick solution"

"Okay."
